Sensor Pins for camshaft triggered ignition

Tue Jan 9 13:36:07 EST 2007

Ben, you can use any steel pin for this purpose, nothing special.

Cody, I¹m sorry to see your malicious, public attach against me and my
company, I personally (or anyone at 034) was not made aware of any issues
you guys had.  We¹ve had dozens and dozens of customers install these
products without issue, if you did have any problems (which I believe you
did by what you describe) I would want to know about it personally so we can
do whatever needs to be done to fix it.

I know many of our customers will vouch that if they¹ve ever had a problem
with our product or service, we¹ve done everything we can to fix it.

Your comments about our Bonneville attempt are also hurtful, you don¹t know
the full extent of the circumstances or details we dealt with, its easy to
sit there and assassinate what we attempt to do out of our passion for Audi
performance.  I¹ll make sure your comments don¹t quell our excitement to go
back and try it again this year.

We have thousands of satisfied customers world-wide who have been able to
make their cars faster, more fun and reliable using our products and
services, that¹s our goal and we¹ll continue to strive for it.

Respectfully,

--
